PDFResearch is carried out to indentify factors affecting the results of environmental education through adding in environmental topics to subjects. Ten primary schools in rural areas (Phung Hiep District, Chau Thanh A District and Long My Town)and 50 teachers participated in the research. Sociological survey method is used in the research. Primary data is collected by non-probability sampling method. Primary data is used in the Binary Logistic Regression model, in which dependant variable Y indicates the impacts of environmental education through adding in environmental topics to subjects. Independant variables X include: X1: Teaching hour; X2: Documents; X3: Students’ age; X4: Parents’ support. The equation of this model is: Loge P(Y=1)/P(Y=0) = -4,373 + 2,816X1 + 3,228X2 – 4,483X3 + 3,378X4. The likelihood ratio of the model is 90%.

PDFChild sexual abuse is a behavior that entices children under the age of 16 to engage in sexual activity and causes physical and mental harm to the children. The results of parental awareness research on the risk of child sexual abuse show that 72.5% of parents find this a serious problem (the parents of the 5th grade students, Nguyen Van Troi primary school, Da Nang city). The risk of abuse is highest when children are alone at dark and deserted areas or stay at home alone. The risk of child sexual abuse is high because the children can not protect themselves and that parents lack knowledge about sex education as well as haven’t got good communication with their children,haven’t skills for sharing understanding about the body protection, about the risks of sexual abuse and about how children can protect themselves. The parents should participate in the training/work shop about child sexual abuse to have more information and skills to protect their children better

PDFKeyword research is one of the important activities that determine the success of search engine optimization for a website. This keyword research helps us understand the priority of the keyword's viability and understand the user's need for keyword usage. This is considered the key to the success of a search engine optimization project. In fact, tourism websites do not pay much attention to keyword research, how the process works and how to predict the effectiveness of the word. This article will analyze the steps for keyword research, using KEI to evaluate keyword effectiveness. In addition, KOI and KFI will also be calculated to assess the success of the keyword when building the anchor text or the title of the website in tourism.

PDFThis article studies the learning strategies used by a Vietnamese learner of English when producing an English written text. The participant was asked to write a reflection on her present life and study with some suggested ideas provided. An interview was set and recorded after the participant had completed the task to clarify different learning strategies that she had employed in writing. The data collected from the interview were analysed based on O’Malley’s (1990) classification of metacognitive, cognitive, and social affective strategies. The participant revealed preferable uses of metacognitive and social affective strategies, but little use of cognitive strategies. This study will be helpful to the identification of similar groups of Vietnamese female learners of English, taking into account of their learning strategies.

PDFIn the domain of Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG), the term "nominalisation" is used to refer to non-congruent metaphorical modes of expression, which is a predominant tendency characteristic of grammatical metaphor (Halliday 1985/1994). As an alternative way of encoding verbal meanings, nominalisations perform important ideological functions. By deleting agency, turning processes into entities, or condensing long strings of shorter sentences into fewer longer sentences (Billig 2008), nominalization helps to make a text become more succinct, more abstract and more sophisticated. With several metaphorical meanings embedded in a nominalised construction (or nominal) as such, for equivalent effect in communication, several strategies as universals have been recognized via the process of going from English into Vietnamese. This article attempts to analyse the universal strategies adopted in rendering nominalisations with the suffix -MENT (or -MENT nominals, for short) into Vietnamese. Based on an English corpus of official documentation and the translation model proposed by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995/2000) and Baker (1995), the article draws out some generalisations on universal strategies adopted in rendering -MENT nominals into Vietnamese with their various metaphorical representations.

PDFConceptual metaphor from the perspective of cognitive linguistics is a form of conceptualization – a cognitive process whose function is to express and shape new ideas. As a cognitive mechanism through which the logic of abstract concepts is replaced by that of more specific concepts, conceptual metaphor is based on physical experiences. The nature of metaphor and its relationship with the language of expression has attracted interest of researchers from various angles. Within the scope of this article, we focus our attention on the conceptual metaphor in which colour is used as a source concept associated with the target domain of human emotion.

PDFThis article is aimed at investigating the Processes in English Texts on Makeup Instructions (ETMIs) in the light of Halliday’s Functional Grammar. The research is carried out based on a combination of a variety of methods such as the descriptive method, the analytic method and the inductive method in order to find out common lexico-grammatical features in terms of types of Verbs, Participants and Circumstances involved in the processes identified in 75 texts of ETMIs collected from the official websites of beauty magazines in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. (The research results show that the Material Process is dominant, occupying 75.24% and the Place-Location Circumstance is the typical one, accounting for 41.76%. It is hoped that the findings of the study can, to some extent, provide a useful reference source for Vietnamese teachers of English and Vietnamese college or university students majoring in the English language and those who are interested in analysis of texts, especially texts on makeup instructions in English, from the functional grammar perspective.

PDFThis article investigates common errors that Vietnamese students often make in the process of translating Vietnamese sentence structures into English. The analysis focuses on the types and frequency of errors in translating Vietnamese structures into the English language such as sentences with elliptical subjects, passive sentences, subordinate clauses in complex sentences, and negative sentences. The subjects of the investigation were 150 English-majored students in four Translation 1 classes of the Faculty of Foreign Languages at Duy Tan University. Common errors made by the students included Omission of Subject, Inappropriate Choice of Subject or Predicate, Inappropriate Choice of Negative Form, and Lack of Main Clause in Complex Sentences. Noticeably, errors caused by “hidden” elements in Vietnamese sentences were the most common. The researcher wishes to provide some practical guidelines for teachers to help students prevent these errors in doing Vietnamese - English translation.

PDFAdvertising language has attracted much attention from linguists. This article applies Halliday’s functional grammatical theory to analyze experiential meaning, interpersonal meaning, and textual meaning of language in English milk advertisements (EMAs) and Vietnamese milk advertisements (VMAs), thereby identifying similarities and differences between English and Vietnamese milk advertisements in terms of these three aspects of meaning. The study combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to investigate 52 EMAs and 52 VMAs collected from official websites in the United States and in Vietnam which introduced milk products from January 2010 to April 2018. The study has found that material processes, declaratives, and topical themes are the dominating types in both EMAs and VMAs. It is hoped that the findings of this study can be useful for those who are interested in Functional Grammar.
